The Right Material for Your New Pipes
When replacing galvanized pipe, we offer two of the best materials for piping, PEX and copper.
The Benefits and Features of PEX and Copper Piping are as Follows
• PEX – A flexible pipe material, PEX is a preferred choice by many homeowners due to its resistance to breaking during extreme cold weather. PEX is also significantly more affordable than copper and can be used for both hot and cold water.
• Copper – The gold standard of plumbing pipes, copper is the only material that comes with a 50-year manufacturer warranty. Copper not only looks good for both exterior and interior applications, but it is also resistant to bacteria growth and fire.
